Sweida residents besieged and set fire to a police HQ following the detention of human rights activist Gibran Murad. Murad was detained in 2011 during the initial protest period but later released. A Maysaf loyalist page condemned the "terrorist act" and says those wishing to act like that should head to Raqqa.

UNHCR: "15,000 individuals were displaced during last 10 days after (SDF) launched the operation to take Raqqa. More than half are estimated to have already returned while the rest are waiting for the situation to improve. Some 8,700 IDPs arrived in Ain Issa Cotton Factory Camp (Ar-Raqqa Governorate) in the past week while an estimated 9,100 left the camp during the same period,”
